MATLAB: Get Timestamp from Tweet

timestamptwittertwitty

Hello,

I am working on a program to process twitter activity for a particular set of key words. I would like to get the timestamp of all of the tweets imported to matlab. The base program I am using to help me code is found here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/34837-twitty

Any help on obtaining timestamps from the Twitter API would be appreciated!

The "created_at" field can display the time-stamp of the tweet, but there is no direct option available to get the timestamp with twitty. For the summary of the twitty's available methods, run the 'twitty.API' command. Try parsing the twitter Structure returned from twitter to find out if that structure has the field "created_at"

According to this example, the base url to post tweet is

baseurl = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json';

not the one you're using.

I don't have the datafeed toolbox (nor a twitter account) to test.

MATLAB: How to add an authorization header with a space in the value, to an http request

Sorry for the delay, but yes I had found it a bit later. There is actually a way to add an arbitrary header, using this:

header = matlab.net.http.field.GenericField("Authorization", "api-key aznfkjndjnsn=");
r = matlab.net.http.RequestMessage('post', header, matlab.net.http.MessageBody(my_body));

This way it worked, it added an "Authorization" header without caring about the space.
